Just curious, what was your formula for X-23?

The unmasked head from ANAD Wolverine.The upper torso, arms and boots were from Nico, the lower torso and legs are from spider gwen and the hands are from X-force X-23, the belt was fodder with an X from TB legends Storm

I had to dremel out the head to get it to fit the ball peg, otherwise just the repainting

Emma using the Typhoid Mary Torso, legs, forearms and hands from Dagger, upper arms from Polaris and the 3pk Warbird head. I used a light pearl wash over the flesh tone to emulate her diamond form. I need to ficure out a cape, the annihilous wave Emma's cape is too small.

Karma, Kitty base with an unmasked Spider-Gwen head and a leg from Danger

Excellent- love that idea for Karma! Try out White Vision's cape for Emma

I was never able to find him in Walmart despite much searching, but thanks to DarthKamen, I finally have Thanos! Thanks again man!

(in case you're wondering, yes I did mod the right arm to increase the elbow bend to just over 90 degrees, plan on doing it to the left arm as well)

DarthKamen · 10-19-2018, 04:13 PM

I'm glad I was able to help, thanks man!

Yes Those are his wings retracted.

Snagged an Archangel from GameStop using their online hold. I wish I had looked at the paint apps before walking out the store, the paint on the legs isn’t all too crisp.

Still no sign of Magik...

Not toy related but apparently Netflix cancelled Luke Cage too.

I'm guessing that with these two cancellations they'll be taking Luke and Danny and doing a Heroes For Hire show, but at least for Luke (not sure about Danny, haven't finished Iron Fist Season 2 yet), I don't feel he's in the right place as a character to go into that. He needs more than 1 or 2 episodes to get him back onto a more truly heroic path.

Reed Richards is elastic!
Sue can fade from sight!
Johnny's the Human Torch!
The Thing just loves to fight!

Big shout-out to sh002 for nabbing me the Thing!

Heroes for hire may start, like it did in the comics, with them fighting. I’m guessing HFH will start with Danny and Luke in strange places in there lives, and, as we kind of saw in LC season 2 they’ll help each other overcome there shit and and team up..... or they were dusted in the snap... it would be a safe bet Avengers 4 may change the landscape of the MCU in ways that for at least a couple years, wouldn’t allow for attached properties, like angents of shield, and now Luke and IF who supposedly exist within the same univers, to continue being produced for fear of spoilers, for instance if in A4 everyone (including Netflix, and AOS characters ) make some sort of appearance it would have to be mentioned, surely they can’t just gloss over the death of at least one avenger, a giant space ship over NYC, blocks away from where they live, that war in the newly descovered super techno advanced and oh yeah that time half of the human race turned to dust!

Could be that these were the weakest received (least watched) of the Netflix series.

I don't have any numbers, and I don't even know how Netflix gauges them exactly, but general consensus is that many people were turned off to season two of both shows due to the poor pacing and mixed bag offerings that the first seasons of both had.

Season 1 of Cage was stellar in it's opening act, but limped into it's finale with a climax that was literally the ending from Rocky V. Iron Fist's first season...well...it was a mess.

Season 2 of Luke Cage and Iron Fist were both much better offerings than the first, but I struggled to finish them at times...especially Cage, which really dragged in it's first 2 acts. Iron Fist was much better, but the easter egg ending did nothing to get me excited, as I'm unfamiliar with the character (as I'm sure the average person is.)

If Jessica Jones gets cancelled though, (which had an awful second season after a first one that I felt was must see tv) then something else might be afoot. Krysten Ritter though has also stated she struggles to play the role at times, as she plays it rather method and it takes her to a place she's not entirely comfortable with all the time, so if it does get cancelled, it wouldn't surprise me.

I agree with others that this might simply be just be a thinning out of the individual properties so they can spin them off into new TV series, as well as prevent over-saturation as they strive to create new ones. Netflix has stated that they want to bring in additional characters and shows in the future (including the oft rumored Moon Knight and Blade) so this could be the first step on the path to that.

Tim · 10-20-2018, 10:32 AM

Yea they’re probably gonna combine Luke Cage and Iron fist’s shows to heroes for hire. Because I don’t think either character is strong enough to carry their own show. Together they were probably the best part of the defenders series. Cuz Luke Cage’s Show was kinda Boring at times(when Rosario or Misty weren’t on screen). Iron fist’s first season was absolutely garbage. Second season was actually better then Luke Cages’s second. So I hope like I said they just combine the shows to star both of them

Weapon X · 10-20-2018, 11:12 AM

I finally purchased one of my Holy Grails today. Venom from the Marvel Legends Sandman wave, way back in the day when Hasbro first took over. I've wanted him for a long time but never had the money until now. Set me back more than I cared for, but he was new in box and cheaper than what I've been seeing lately so I snagged him with free shipping. It'll be great to finally get this guy in my hands, and I can pose him with Mary Jane and New Goblin from the wave, and be one step closer to completing the BAF. Will post pics when it arrives.

I'm assuming you mean the Spider-Man 3 version? Weird how Venom managed to come in a Sandman BAF wave twice...

Older figure, but still hella fun to play with. Which variant did you get?

Ha yea. I’m a bit bummed they canned Fist and Cage. Because Cage was an actual likable character. One of my favorites. But season 2 killed the show, Iron fist I figured would be gone. But season two he was Pinocchio that season kinda made him into a real boy hahaha.
If they don’t do heroes for Hire Ima riot lol

kenm2474 · 10-20-2018, 12:56 PM

They should just make ironfist older and get jason frank to play him. At least the fights would be sick.
